First Blog Post

Hi and welcome to Just Charity Things! 



My name is Charity Robertson and I  am a 20 year old junior at Jacksonville State University where I  am majoring in Communications with a concentration in Public Relations and minor in English. 

After graduation, I  plan on hopefully securing a job in the workforce where I will be solely in charge of managing social media accounts for well known organizations. I  have always been fascinated by the "damage control" part of Public Relations so I believe this would also be something I  am definitely interested in and looking forward to learn more about in this class. 

 I  do plan on continuing this blog past this class and graduation just as soon as I  can grasp the hang of things! This blog will highlight things in my day to day life, from cooking, to balancing school, work, and a social life and also some more serious topics such as my encounters with racism, or what it is like growing up as a young, black woman in a white male dominated society. 

As you join me on this journey, I  hope you learn from me, I hope you laugh at and with me, I hope you cry with and most of all, I hope you're buckled up and ready for the chaotic ride that is my life! 😇


XOXO,

Charity Robertson

I  think people should be allowed to date who they want. I    am pro-black. I  am also a black woman with a white best friend. Where It All Started Me and my best friend, Hannah, have been friends for about 13 years. We met in Mrs. Tisdale's third grade class and have been pretty much stuck like glue since. We've cried together, been in trouble together, snuck out together (sorry mama and Mrs. Kim), had disagreements, and fights but our friendship has never quavered.  We grew up attending Vincent Middle High School, a small 2A school about 30 miles outside of Birmingham,AL (You know, one of those towns where EVERYBODY knows EVERYBODY'S business 😒) I'll be the first to say that Hanna...

HOT TOPICS

15   HOT   Topics in Today’s Society In today's society, there are tons and tons of controversial topics. It is truly hard to get one opinion that covers all beliefs. The following list includes great conversation starters or nice, friendly discussions!   1. Election The election has definitely been a trending topic in the past few weeks. Candidates Donald Trump and Joe Biden have two very different platforms and the results are sure to shake the world no matter how the election may go. Some people love Trump and hate Biden. Others love Biden and hate Trump. Then there are those who think both candidates are equally disgraces. Which side do YOU fall on? 2. Coronavirus Another trending topic is the Coronavirus, which is also known as COVID-19. Originating in China, COVID-19 quickly spread to the United States and began to takeover.
